The sanding station makes quick work and it's very easy to shape. Sand, check, sand check. rotate both pieces. Re-clamp Sand the other side, check, sand check. Once I was satisfied...I then moved on to the 3M wheels on the grinder. Then scotchbrite. My hands a black! But the pieces turned out very nice. and I am pleased with the fit on the tank ribs.
Although....I'm not sure how I am going to set those three top rivets and two bottom??? More research needed.
Still in the urge to fabricate. I cut the tank stiffeners. First cut with the band saw. Next was trimming with the aviation snips. Once that was done, I used a file to remove the shear marks on the long edges.
Next was to run each piece through the sanding station, then the fine 3M wheel on the grinder. Its a very slow process....But some good music helps pass the time. I finished up with some scotchbrite on the edges. Not a sharp corner to be found.
